Day 21 ended up just how I didn't want, with me eating more! Bad girl! I REALLY fancied some chocolate but didn't have any in. Went to the shop especially to buy some, but didn't go mad. Bought 4 bars - one for each of us and a packet of crisps for me. Believe me - buying a chocolate bar in an evening and not buying 20 and scoffing them all is a first for me. Just fancied it, made an adult decision and stuck to it.
Determined more than ever to stick to SS today - I have done so far today. Just had a warmed banana tetra, but I am SO HUNGRY! Ketosis fairy has left me and it's my own fault. But I am struggling big time. I want to eat and I'm so grateful that my work haven't gone to the chippy today - I might just have caved.
I sat with my diary last night and looked back at when I last felt as crap as this - exactly 4 weeks ago (in my run up to my trip to Amsterdam). I couldn't SS then either. A pattern beginning to emerge? I am seriously considering whether I have a hormone imbalance. I know it is easy to try and account for poor willpower with medical reasons but I really do think there is more to it than that. I spent a bit of time on the net last night and looked up symptoms - a lot of which I seem to have. I apolgise in advance for TMI but these are some of them:
PMS - check
Anxiety & Depression - check (on Prozac)
Insomnia - check
Cyclical headaches - check (every month without fail)
Painful breasts - check
Painful intercourse - check
Hot flashes - check
Night sweats - check (so bad they wake me up most nights)
Memory problems - urrrrr? check
Lethargic depression - check
Heavy bleeding - does 4 weeks non stop count?
Bloating - check
Red flush on face - check - was diagnosed as having roscea once
Foggy thinking - frequently
Rapid weight gain - ?????
Acne - check
Thinning hair - check - hormones or SSing?
Mid cycle pain - check - I have always said oh there I go ovulating lol
Unstable blood sugar - check
Brown spots on face - check (not much but definately there)
Low blood pressure - check (remember I fainted last year)
Umm, lots of things there that individually don't mean much but put altogether who knows?
Glad I've got a doctors appointment next week! She might just have to put me down lol. Maybe I'm just a hypochondriac!
